One option is to create a file "imports.hs" which contains the text
"import Control.Monad", and then run

ghc -e "forM [[1,2,3]] reverse" imports.hs

I use this method in a short shell script "interact" so that I can
apply Haskell functions to files from the command line and don't have
to type the full qualified names of things in modules I use frequently.
